"Hey guys, just had a crazy issue with my router and Alexa setup. Updated the firmware on my router and now Alexa refuses to connect, keeps saying 'connection failed' or 'device not discovered'. Anyone else had this happen after a firmware update?"

"Lol, I've been there before. Try resetting the router to default settings, then update the firmware again, and see if that fixes it. If still issues, check if all cables are securely connected."

"Lol, same thing happened to me dude. Try resetting the router to its factory settings and see if that resolves the issue. If that doesn't work, you might wanna reach out to Alexa support for more help"

"Try resetting your router, that usually sorts out connectivity issues. Also, check that Alexa is running the latest software version, as the update might've caused some incompatibility. Sometimes a simple power cycle fixes these sorts of problems."

"Hey OP, try unplugging your router, waiting for 10 seconds, and plugging it back in. This usually does the trick and resets the thing back to default. Might want to check for any firmware updates for your router too."

"Dude, I went through the same issue last week after my Echo dot's firmware update. Try resetting the device, then reconnect it to your network and see if that does the trick. Also, check your router's firmware and update it if needed."

"Hey OP, have you tried resetting the router to its default settings? Sometimes a plain reset can fix connectivity issues like this. If that doesn't work, it's worth calling the provider to see if there's a bigger issue on their end"

"Hey OP, try resetting your router and see if that resolves the issue. Sometimes these firmware updates can get wonky and a hard reset can breathe some life into it. Also, make sure you're using a wired connection for the initial setup."

"Dude, try restarting the router and then your Alexa - it's usually the simplest fix. If that doesn't work, you might wanna check your router's settings and make sure Alexa's on the whitelist. Also, did you try the Alexa app's reset feature?"

"Hey OP, try unplugging the router, modem, and Alexa for a minute, then plug everything back in. This usually resolves connectivity issues after a firmware update. Also, check if your router's firmware is up to date, might be a conflict there."
